Nice, straight talk from an experienced racer on production-based race cars

great video, and invaluable advice about not over-driving the car.

watch. Thanks for sharing.

Good find.

I've got new pedals and a DSSR sitting in my garage ready to be installed in my E36 to help improve the feel of my pedals and shifter. Being comfortable in the cockpit is huge.

Good vid. Being able to feel and understand the feedback from the car is so important. Can't stress that enough.

make it safe, then make it reliable, then make it fast.

overdriving is definitely an issue, and one that I have had before. its hard to not continue to push harder through a lap.

at the end of the day, we are supposed to be having fun and its important to have that discipline while driving and making sure that you are staying smooth.

one thing I am trying to focus on when driving this car is focusing more on slow in, fast out. its an easier way to drive for me quickly, and is safer. its also good to learn.

if you don't, you come in to hot, get into an understeer situation and only bad things can happen. I have experienced oversteer once in this car in this situation when I slightly lifted, and that's not fun haha
